Help to identify a laptop mainboard SMD capacitor LA-9982P

[BlackBurn]

Hello everyone,

I have an Dell Inspiron 15 3537 laptop mainboard (LA-9982P Rev. 3.0 (A02)) with a blown SMD capacitor as shown in the attached images. However, there is no printed specifications near the capacitor or a codename for the capacitor to identify the specification of the capacitor to replace it. I wonder how to identify the capacitor since the mainboard schematics are also useless as the capacitors are not named on the board. Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thank You. Stay Safe.

you have a set of 3 - remove a good one and meter the capacitance.
then meter or scope the board and see what voltage is across them - obviously with the shorted one removed.

Looks like they could be 10µf/25v
